But one neighborhood in particular claims to be one of the most diverse places in the world. Welcome to Queens, New York. Man：How are you doing? What’s happening? We’re all immigrants.

Woman 3： My great-grandfather was Puerto Rican and his parents were Puerto Rican and so on and so forth. So, as far as I know, we’ve always been Puerto Rican.
